Prologue [German translation]

In the beginning there was only ocean

Until the Mother Island emerged: Te Fiti

Her heart held the greatest power ever known

It could create life itself

And Te Fiti shared it with the world

But, in time, some began to seek Te Fiti's heart

They believed if they could possess it

The great power of creation would be theirs

And one day, the most daring of them all voyaged across the vast ocean to take it

He was demigod of the wind and sea

He was a warrior, a trickster, a shapeshifter who could change form with the power of his magical fishhook

And his name was Maui

But without her heart, Te Fiti began to crumble

Giving birth to a terrible darkness

Maui tried to escape

But was confronted by another who sought the heart: Te Ka

A demon of earth and fire

Maui was struck from the sky

Never to be seen again

And his magical fishhook and the heart of Te Fiti were lost to the sea

Where even now, a thousand years later

Te Ka and the demons of the deep still hunt for the heart

Hiding in a darkness that will continue to spread

Chasing away our fish

Draining the life from island after island

Until every one of us is devoured by the bloodthirsty jaws of inescapable death!

But one day, the heart will be found by someone who will journey beyond our reef

Find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean to restore Te Fiti's heart

And save us all.
